What hit me so unexpectedly was this barrage of music coming from just two men, which hurled me back into about 1987′s fetid Brazilian tape-trader jungle metal, but at the same time carrying a dominant genetic stamp throughout it that was distinctly Bode Preto’s. That usually just doesn’t happen — new bands are usually so hyped up and full of their own bullshit, sporting ripped off cover art and/or bastardizing someone else’s logo and when it boils down to the main body of their “art”, the music, well, to me it’s a meaningless string of riffs and rhythms sewn together to make a “song” with no conviction and leaving the listener feeling shafted and devoid of feeling.

That might be OK for some, but not for me — and that’s where Bode Preto comes to play so solidly. I feel Bode Preto — and that’s what I want from music. It’s this way with any medium, or should be. These guys simply let their art do the talking and we garner from it what we will. I don’t think hell is supposed to sound this good though. The song “Elytron (Succubus)” for me denotes a truly classic release. I urge you to tap into that drumming which was not recorded in any studio, but simply a plain room, and absorb the feeling, and you’re on the path which has at least as many layers as Dante’s Inferno, if not more.

Finally this masterpiece of occult Southamerican Blackened Death Metal will get it's vinyl treatment! I'm very happy that we could persuade this Brazilian band to work with us. The first time I listened to this album I was absolutely shocked. Positively, of course! This album is so deep, so extreme, so obscure.. I felt like travelling back in time when I was 15 and listened to SARCÓI_LOVE_PENIS, BLASPHEMY, old SEPULTURA.. Add some VON and you will have a pretty accurate example of what you will get here. 26 minutes of unmerciful, razor-sharp Death Metal in the good old (extreme) Southamerican tradition. Fábio Jhasko (ex-SARCÓI_LOVE_PENIS) contributed with riffs on three songs. Adelson Souza (DIABOLIC FORCE, ex-GRAVE DESECRATOR, ex-THE ENDOPARASITES) is the beast behind the drums.

There will be only 500 units pressed. They all come with a 60 x 30 cm insert specially designed by the band.
- 350 units will be pressed on standard black 140 g vinyl.
- 150 copies will be pressed on transparent red heavy 180 g vinyl only available from the band and from us.

Tentative release date for the vinyl edition is the 2nd of June, and you can pre-order your copy right HERE from the label charge, Unholy Prophecies._________________
